Background: About Homeworld Collective: Homeworld Collective is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to fostering the growth of climate biotech and strengthening its interconnections with other climate tech fields. Our ethos is action-oriented optimism about climate change: we believe that if we take action, we will get better outcomes. Our core method is to synthesize actionable knowledge through community engagement, communicate that knowledge to lift all boats, and empower practitioners to pursue solutions toward a thriving biosphere. Since our founding, we have laid the foundation for growth through initiatives including our Problem Statement Repository, inaugural Garden Grants funding round on protein engineering, and our 2024 focus on greenhouse gas removal. We have a strong trajectory towards programs in geobiotechnology and lead pollution. As we enter a new phase of growth, the Operations Coordinator will play a vital role in supporting our operations and enabling leadership to focus on strategic and organizational development.
